CRASHING DOWN AS WELL.
TREE CAME DOWN ON A HOUSE.
CAITLIN?
>> Reporter: HEY.
AS YOU TOSSED THINGS OVER TO ME,
IT’S -- THE WINDS PICKING UP
RIGHT NOW IN DOWNTOWN.
I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO CALM
DOWN.
THIS IS MEMORIAL PARK IN
TORRINGTON.
CHECK THIS OUT.
DEBRIS, TREE BRANCHES, LEAVES
EVERYWHERE.
THAT’S NOT ALL.
LOOK AT THIS.
BEHIND ME CLOSER TO THE ROAD,
LOOK AT THAT UPROOTED TREE HERE
ON THE PARK.
IT’S ONE OF MANY TREES WE’VE
SEEN DOWN IN THIS AREA.
YOU MENTIONED ONE ON A HOUSE.
WE SAW PICTURES EARLIER FOR
THAT.
AS YOU’VE BEEN DRIVING, WE WERE
IN WATERBURY, WHERE ABOUT 6,000
PEOPLE, WHOO.
6,000 CUSTOMERS DON’T HAVE POWER
RIGHT NOW.
WE DROVE UP NORTH ON ROUTE 8.
TREES WERE DOWN ALL ALONG THE
SIDES OF THE ROAD.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU HERE, THIS IS
ANOTHER THING WE’RE SEEING.
TORRINGTON, LOTS OF BRANCHES
HERE.
THIS DEBRIS IS MAKING A MESA
LONG THE ROADS.
LIKE I MENTIONED, THERE WAS A
STATE TROOPER MAKING PEOPLE GO
AROUND.
TREES LIKE THIS, OR BRANCHES
LIKE THIS WERE DOWN.
PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES IN AND
AROUND THEIR HOUSES.
THEY’RE ASKING PEOPLE TO STAY
INSIDE AND AVOID TH AREAS IF
YOU CAN.
AS THEY TRY TO GET THINGS CLEANED UP.
WE ACTUALLY SAW A LOT OF TREE
CREWS EVEN IN EVERSOURCE CREW IN
THIS TORRINGTON AREA.
A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOKING TO GET
THEIR LIGHTS BACK ON IN THEIR
HOUSE THIS EVENING.
BUT LOTS OF WORK TO BE DONE HERE
AND ELSEWHERE AROUND THE STATE.

>>> PART OF THE ROOF OF AN
APARTMENT BUILDING WAS RIPPED
OFF.
THIS WAS DURING THE STORM.
THE BUILDING IS ON MAPLE STREET.
AUTHORITIES TELL US THAT SIX
APARTMENTS WERE AFFECTED.
THANKFULLY, EVERYONE IS OKAY
THERE.
DOZENS OF ROADS IN HAMDEN ARE
ALSO CLOSED BECAUSE OF DOWND
TREES.
A PICTURE OF ONE. NBC CONNECTICUT JAMIE RATLIFF
JOINS US WITH A LOOK AT THE
DAMAGE.
JAMIE, THERE WERE BIG TREES
BEHIND YOU IN YOUR LAP BEFORE. >> Reporter: WE’VE SEEN A LOT OF
DAMAGE CAUSED BY WIND ACROSS THE
STATE.
YOU’VE PROBABLY SEEN SOME OF
THAT DAMAGE HERE.
WE WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THIS
TELEPHONE POLE YOU SEE LEADING
HERE. DOES NOT NORMALLY LEAN.
WE WANT TO SHOW YOU WHY IT’S
DOING THAT.
IT IS BECAUSE THIS MASSIVE TREE
HAS FALLEN, CRASHING DOWN ON TO THE POWER LINES HERE.
YOU CAN SEE THE DAMAGE, SON WERE
NOT HOME.
THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED.
HE SAYS EVERYTHING HERE, WELL,
THAT CAN BE REPLACED.

>> RYAN HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT
IT ALL DAY.
YOU CAN SEE HOW POWERFUL THE WINDS HAVE BEEN.
THIS IS SOUTHINGTON.
LOOK A THE TREE THAT CAME DOWN
DURING A GUST THERE.
MOVING TO THE SHORELINE.
THE WORST OF THE STORM HAS MOVED
OUT.
IN SOME PLACES, THEY’RE SEEING
SUNSHINE.
LIVE IN MILFORD.
SHE’S TALKING ABOUT THE CLEANUP
NOW.
KYLE?
>> Reporter: THAT’S RIGHT.
WE MENTIONED SUNSHINE AS WELL,
RIGHT?
EARLIER.
NOW YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME THAT
THE SUN IS COMING OUT.
THAT CAN BE -- GIVE YOU A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY BECAUSE THE
WIND IS STILL REALLY BLOWING OUT
HERE AND THAT HAS BEEN A FORCE
OF A LOT OF POWER OUTAGES.
IN MILFORD.
WE’VE GOT ABOUT 12,000 PEOPLE
WITHOUT POWER.
WE’VE ADDED ABOUT 4,000 EEM IN
THE LAST HOUR OR SO.
SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE’RE CONTINUING TO SEE.
ORANGE, THEY HAVE ABOUT 6,000
PEOPLE WITHOUT POWER.
THAT INCLUDES PEOPLE RIGHT HERE.
ALONG POINT BEACH IN MILFORD.
AS THE SUN COMES OUT AND THE
WINDS START TO SLIGHTLY DIE
DOWN, PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT THE
WAVES AND TAKING WALKS.
EVERYBODY AROUND HERE IS WITHOUT
POWER RIGHT NOW.
THEY ARE PEOPLE DEALING WITH
THAT.
AS WE CONTINUE TO SEE PEOPLE
STARTING TO COME OUT AND SEE
WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE
TROPICAL STORM ISAIAS.
PEOPLE ARE OUT SURVEYING, TAKING
SOME TIME.
ENJOYING A LITTLE BIT OF
SUNSHINE.
A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT WINDS AS
WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE
AFTEREFFECTS.
